COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge-Ordinary.) O'KANE V. O'KANE AND PALINTERSTON. Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., in this case said be had to move the court on the part of the respondent to call upon the petitioner to show cause why he should not proceed with the case to trial, or, failing to do that, that the peti tion should be taken Gff the fite of the court. The peti- tion, which contained but one vague plea of adultery, was filed on the 19th of October, 1863; citation was served the 21st of October ; answers were filed on the 28th of the same month ; and on the 17th of November an order was made for further particulars to be supplied to the co-respondent. The Judge Ordinary said it must be clearly understood that he did not think the interests of the respondent or co-respondent were identified or identical. Mr. D. Seymour said he appeared solely for the re spondent, and it was especially desirable, as far as she was concerned, that the petitioner should be compelled, by an order of that Court, to proceed with the case, or that it should be withdrawn. He trusted his lord ship would direct such a course to be pursued, as, since the order of the court for forwarding further parti culars, no step had been taken in the matter. Of course the respondent did not, and could not, complain of tho non-com plianceof thepetitioner with the order of the court; but what she desired was that the case should either be proceededwith or abandoned. The learned counsel having read an extract from a solemn declaration of Mr. Horsley, a solicitor, and officer of the court, which stated that the petition was pre sented for purposes of extortion, and that the petitioner had no case at all, concluded by asking the Court to grant his application. The Judge Ordinary said the Courts of Law were open to all suitors, and it was for the benefit of all that as little delay as possible should be sanctioned in proceeding with matters brought before them. In no court was it more desirable than in the Divorce Court, before which num bers of persons might be dragged and charges kept hanging over them without the least reason. The'respon dent had nothing to do with the refusal of the petitioner to obey the order of the Court made on the 17th Nov. If the particulars were not furnished, it was but fair to suppose that none existed that did affect her; but what she had a right to complain of was, that a vague charge should be kept pending for an indefinite period of time in that Court: In cases of a similar nature to that now before it, the practice of the Court was to grant a rule calling upon a petitioner to attend the next court day, and show cause why he did not go forward with his ease; or, fail ing in that, the petition was dismissed. That was the order he should make in the present case. UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, 1864, MATRICULATION.-JANUARY.

Sailed, Jan, 25-00ta, Steamer, for Konigsberg. Prisoner said she was very sorry and bad no recollection of the occurrence. Francis Allwood, IE6 C, who took theprisoner into cus tody, said she had been drinking, but knew what she was about. Captain Godbold said the prisoner's conduct was very bad. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was the duty of the magistrate to put an end to this harassing of men in the streets. He should commit the prisoner for a mcnth with hard labour. A PICKPOCKET AT THE PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—EIIO/1 Powell, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to pick pockets of several ladies at the Princess's Theatre on the previous afternoon. _ Edwin Coathupe, of the Detective Department, Scotland - yard, was at the Princess's Theatre yesterday afternoon when the audience were leaving, after the day performanco of the pantomime, when he saw the prisoner at the foot of the stairs leading to the boxes, moving about among the ladies leaving the theatre. He watched the prisoner for dome time and saw her try several ladies' pockets, and then put her hand in her own. On asking her what she had in her pockets she said, " She did not know, and on her withdrawing her hand, Coathupe inserted his and found two purses there, each containing money, and the following addresses :—" 26, Harley-street, Bow-road, E, ;" " Mrs. T. Baker, Walmer-place, Brompton ;" " Mrs. Wood, 49, Frederick-street, Caledonian•road ;" and a card with the name of Mrs. J. Mitchell on it. Sergeant Cole, E Division, corroborated Coathupe, and said the prisoner told him that she was a prostitute, and went to the theatre with a gentleman, who must have put the purses into her pocket. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ANNOYING A GENTLEMAN.—Kate ciurchill, a smartly dressed young woman, "an unfortunate" was charg©d be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with annoying Capain Godbold, of 7, Albemarle-street , _ Captain Godbold said that as he wap calking along Pic cadilly last night about 10 o'clock the pisoner came up to him and importuned him, and would n't leave him. To get away from her he walked amongst the cabs, but she still followed him. Sho then seized his oat tails, and tore his coat open trying to get his pocket t andkerchief from his breast pocket. A crowd of persons thn gathered round them, and the prisoner then struck at him several times trying to knock his hat off. Acting upon the advice of some of the bystanders he told the prisoner he would give her in charge, when she made off but was evErtagen, and taken into custody. WESTMINSTER. A DARING FEAALE PICKPOCKET.—EIizabeth Scott, a woman about 30 years of age, attired in a handsome velvet mantle and bonnet, was placed at the bar charged with attempting to pick a pocket, and also with other gross mis conduct. Mrs. Emma Crossby, the wife of a grocer, living at 9, Child-street, Earl's-court, Brompton, said that at a little atter four yester]ay afternoon, she was in the Cromwell road with her sister, a girl 11 or 12 years of age, when the prisoner, accompanied by a gentleman, came up and accosted her. They asked her if she would be good enough to direct them to the Paddington railway station. As it was a long distance off and she was not well acquainted *ith the neigh bourhood, she told the prisoner and her companion that she could not well direct them, but they must go to Hyde park-corner. At the moment she said this she felt a pressure against her person. Sho then found that the pri soner was close by her side with her hand in her (prosecu trix's) pocket, and she immediately endeavoured to secure her, She seized the prisoner by the wrist, and after pnl:- ing the hand out of her pocket so held her. The prisoner endeavoured to free herself, and failing at the moment, struck her a violent blow on the cheek with the other hand, and extricating herself ran away. Mr. Arnold—What became of the person you have de scribed as a gentleman ? Prosecutrix—He ran off just when he found I had caught her hand in my pocket, and she ran after him. I followed into Thurloe-street, and when she came into another street and found I was close upon her, she stooped to a heap of gravel, and taking a hanaful, turned round to throw it into my face. When she had struck me on the former occa sion, it had been with such violence that it had knocked me from the pavement into the road, and when she took up the gravel I ran to the other side of the way to pre• vent her doing me any further 'olence. I had sent for a constable at the South Kensington Museum, and I had scarcely crossed when he came up and took the prisoner into custody. Mr. Arnold—Did she get anything out of your pocket? Prosecutrix—She did not, I had something very heavy in my pocket which pressed it down, and therefore she could not get to the bottom of it. Prosecutrix's sister was called, and corroborated her ac count. Prisoner gave her a heavy blow when she found herself detected. Thomas Symes, 181 B, said that he was sent for, and took the prisoner, She pretended the most perfect iguorance of the prosecutrix and the whole transaction. Prisoner was remanded till Thursday. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTAELE.— Thomas Gillham, a tall and powerful young man, a ooster• monger, was brought before Mr. Knox, charged with as• saulting and wounding Thomas Cox, a police-constable, N'o 18 K. Last night the landlady of the Salisbury Arms, public house in Eastfield-street, Limehouse• fields, called upon Cox and Police-sergeant Briden, No. 4 K, to remove the pri soner, who was intoxicated and making a disturbance. The officers had some trouble in getting him out, and when he was removed into the street he made use of very foul lan guage and threats. He was allowed to go at large, and the officers were walking away when the prisoner returned with a brick in his hand, and flung it fall into the constable's face. Cox reeled from the effeect of the blow, and fell. He was severely wounded, and lost a good deal of blood, It was shown that the prisoner had been convicted by Mr, Selfe, at this court, for throwing stones at a police-constable named Venables, No. 141 K. Mr. James Horton, surgeon, of High-street, Stepney, said the constable's face was much swollen. There was a contusion on his lip, and his nose was much injured. Mr. Knox said he should adopt the course he generally followed at his own court in cases of this description. He could not summarily punish the prisoner in an adequate manner for the serious offence he had committed. He should send the case before a jury for trial. R OBBE RIES BY BASKET - WOMEN.—CAUTION TO CAP - A 1 aged lAr 22, MATES, sA AND EAMEN.—Honora Lynch, an Irish woman, who carried an infant in her arms, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing a purs Containing £l7 in gold from the person of Captain George Love, master of a smack called the Rifleman, lying in the West India Dock. Mr. Stoddart defended the prisoner, a well-dressed young woman. The protecutor stated that on Saturday last he was pass ing over Tower-hill and was invited by the prisoner, who was selling oranges, to buy some of her. He selected a few from her basket and paid for them. She then asked him if he would treat her with something to drink. He consented to do so, and they went to a public-house and were joined by another woman. After they had partaken of some drink prisoner put her arms round his neck, and asked him to go upstairs. There was no chance to do so in that house, and they proceeded to another public-house, the White Hart, in Pennington-street, Rateliff-highway, where they had more drink. He could not nay how much he had. He drank some rum and several bottles of lemonade. Ho changed a note in the hone°. He went upstairs with the pri soner. He remembered being with her some time. He went to bed, and put his puree tinder his pillow. He fell asleep, but how long ho slept he Could not tell. He was aroused by the landlady of the house, who said that a man had ran through the lower part of the house after he went upstairs. His purse and money were gone. Ile did not see the pri soner when the landlady woke him. There was at least -street, Be recog nised a de- I th 2 i o s , morning at ihe i f e l r 7 i in ti ogno station-houseol t i h n e np h r e iLs p oe u n en : purse. her directly. In cross-examination by Mr. Stoddart, th e p rose cutor and parting him end a soldier said there were two soldiers in the publichouse. He knew one to be a Freemason by the signs he made and shaking hands. He had no fight with soldiers. He did not recol lect the police coming up while fighting.

She was a basketwoman, and her hus band was a labourer. Ile met the prisoner yesterday in • Rosemary-lane, aliss Royal Mint-street, and took her into custody. She belonged to a gang of basketwomen, who, • under pretence of selling oranges and fruit, on Tower-hill, • Ratcliff-highWay, and houses of public entertainment, in • veigled sailors into placati 50d robbed them. The basket women in the district were a great pest, They had robbed a great that* Oaptains, m ates, and seamen, and were much • worse than the ordinary Women of the town. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, who appeared for the pro newton, asked for a remand , Mr. Partridge acceded to the request, He remanded the prisoner fora week. THREATENING TO MußDEß.—Yestettlay a young man named Charles Trayleo, aged 24, the on of a respectable farmer, was charged before the Cambridge ma gistrates with threatening the lift) of Harriet Leeds, his cousin. The case was one of " unrequited love," and it appeared that Traylen had been following the young lady about, threatening to shoot her if she did not receive his addresses. The prisoner seemed to be a very foolish, but at the same time rather a dangerous young man, and the magistr a t e o r dered him to find two peace sureties in £2OO each, and himself iu £4OO. Several of defendant's friends present were well able to furnish the required sureties, but declined doing so At the time, in consequence of the mental state of Traylen, I4e Nvs therefore remoyed to the County pd. The CHESTER Cur, was all but a dead letter, notwith standing many of the best judges naming several animals as being wonderfully well in ; but siill there appears a great disinclination upon the part of the layers and backers to meddle with the handicaps until something more tangible than exhibits itself at present is made manifest Our re turn will therefore be accepted merely as the" waifs and strays" of individual fancies than the effect of any demon stration made in favour of any particular stable. THE DERBY.—The transactions hereon wore noticeable solely for the anxiety to get on Coast Guard, as litttlo as 16 to 1 being repeatedly taken in hundreds, but towards the close the furore somewhat cooled, and at the close of the room 100 to 6 was repeatedly offered, Historian also was backed at 22 to Ito win some hundreds. Of the others whose names will be found given in our return of the closing prices the majority were only supported for small amounts.

The course was an oval of two miles in length by half a mile in width; the ground was hard and mixed with pebbles, and vas broken by transverse ruts formed by the rain—on the whole, toler able ground, and not too deep. The first race was for Arab horses, three miles, for £5OO and £lOO to the second; it was won by Hamdany, belonging to Mr. Smart, after a close contest with Dukhy, owned by Halim Pasha. The second race, for horses of all nations catch weights, was five miles for £3OO, and £lOO to the second. Four English horses ran, but were beaten without a struggle by an Arab horse of the Obeyan breed, who, however, lost the race by his rider dismounting at the third mile, which permitted a chesnut mare of Ali Pasha's to come in first, the Obeyan recovering the second place. The English horses greatly discredited themselves, and it is a pity that Companion, who has hitherto won all his races, did not run, as he would almost certainly have maintained our precedence. The third race was for £lOO, two miles, and was gained by Ali Pasha after a close race with a grey mare belonging to M. Guichard, but not well ridden. Altogether it was a great success. A kiosk was erected for the Viceroy, and a grand stand for the Europeans; a buffet was provided of 26 tables, each of six covers, - besides the private table for his Highness and his guests, all at the Viceroy's expense. The course was properly staked and corded, and kept by cavalry pickets and mounted police, and the whole passed off without a single quarrel or accident of ann kind, The first race was run in about seven minutes, the second in fifteen, and the third in six. At the conclusion of the day a purse of £lOO was run for by the Bashi-bazouk cavalry, who dashed off in a dense clump, forming a very pretty and animating spectacle. Among the Viceroy's guests were Count De genfeld, Austrian Minister at war; Sir Charles Macarthy, governor of Ceylon; Count Bariatinaki, Count Nobili, and several of the Consuls General. It is to be hoped that the English will endeavour to retrieve their name at the next meeting to be held in May, at Alexandria, for it cannot be doubted that a good English horse will have no difficulty in beating Arabs at any distance. The horses which ran on the sth were Blazeaway, Young Syntax, Tadcaster, and Engraver's Daughter. None passed the post. —. Letter front Alexandria. TRADE OF SWANSEA, LLANELLY, &c.—During the year 1863 the total number of vessels engaged in the trade of Swansea reached 5,513, with an aggregate registered tonnage of 648,966 tons, and the shipping rates received amounted to £16,14918s 101 d. As compared with the year 1862 the returns show a slight decrease in the number of ships trading with the port, and also in the ton nage; but there has been an increase of nearly £409 in the shipping rates received, which is accounted for from the fact that a larger class of vessels has visited the port of late. Three thousand one hundred and ten vessels, with an ag gregate registered tonnage of 253,183 tons, were engaged in the trade of Llanelly, Carmarthen, Ferryside, Pembrey, and Penclawdd during the year, against 3,486 vessels, with a registered tonnage of 262,122 tons in 1862. The depressed state of trade during the first six months of 1863 was to a great extent the cause of the falling off in the number of shtps and the tonnage. A bottle has been picked up on the coast of Nor way since the December gales, containing the following message :—" Scbooner Jessie, of Shields, seven days from Stockholm, and within sight of Scotland, April 1, 1863. The master washed overboard this morning ; two men and a boy remaining. Any one finding this is requested to communicate with the editor of any newspaper. 11 a.m. the boat getting ready. 11f a.m. the water gaining rapidly." A great number of large salmon are now spawn ing in all parts of the River Avon in Hampshire, even high up the river towards Salisbury, which is very unusual. BEE SWARMING EXTRAORDINAAY.—It is not always either agreeable or safe to have a swarm of bees almost inside your house; in such cases efforts to re. move or even get tid of them may be deemed excusable On Friday last a swarm which for years past has taken possession of the space between the drawing-room floor and the dining-room ceiling of the residence of Mr. Buchanan, at Poulton-cum-Seaeorebe, Wallasey, came out in vast numbers from their winter quarters, and disported them selves in front of his house as if it had been mid summer. The annual movements of this swarm have long been a source of interest and curiosity in the neigh bourhood. On one occasion the entrance to their cells was closed up during the winter; but in the following spring the bees made their way out into the light through the same aperture which had been barred against them ; and on another occasion, when it was thought they had been effectually destroyed by the action of burnt brimstone, great numbers of them were nevertheless untouched, and forced their way into the air in the following spring, and the swarm has never since been disturbed.— Liverpool Albion. FATHER MATHEW'S " CROSS CORNET."—The greatest of all Father Mathew's difficulties was, perhaps, his servant John. He was a wizened, unwhole some little "familiar," who hated children, hated poor people, and loved whisky. His love for Father Mathew was his one redeeming characteristic. "If you will go on in this way, John, I must really leave the house," generally recalled the tyrant to his sensed. Requesting the servant to leave the house evidently never occarred to the master as an available alternative. Then, again, the prophet did not meet entirely with the " honour among his own people" that he hoped for. It must have been a sore moment when, after praising Brother John's healthy appearance as a living testimonial to temperance, an accidental visit to the dining room after he had retired to rest disclosed John busy with the "materials," and sadly disconcerted at the apparition. CLERICAL VACANCIES. —The rectory of Ham, in the county of Wilts, and diocese of Salisbury, worth between £4OO and £5OO per annum, and in the gift of the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Winchester, population 249, ie vacant by the death of the Rev. David Morgan, who has held it for the last 20 years. The rectory of Biddestoiao with- Sian ghterford, in the some count), and in the patron age of Winchester College, is likewise vacant by tho decease of its incumbent, the Rev. A. Quicke, who had held it for a period of upwards of 30 years. It appears that the authorities at Frankfort have declined to grant a concession to draw the Great Eastern lottery in that city; and the ship will be offered for sale at Liverpool on the 17th of February, " withcut any reserve." At Drury Lane, " Henry IV." is to bo produced with great splendour at Easter, Mr. Phelps is to play the part of Falstaff and Mr. Waiter Montgomery that of Hotspur. M. MAZZINI AND THE FRENCH PLOT.-4t appears from inquiries made by the Swiss authorities that M. Mazzini left Lugano in the beginning of October last, and that the men who have been arrested on the charge of a conspiracy against the life of the Emperor Napoleon clitj not Wive at that place till the mouth of November. The Birmingham Gazette of yesterday has an account of an extraordinary scene which was wit nessed at the Adelphi Theatre in that town on Saturday night. It seems that, during the panto mime, the " supernumeraries" struck work, and the clown explained to the audience that none of them had been paid their wages. At last it came to a scene in which the clown has to jump from a spring. ing board through a trap-door. The clown went to the side wings, and appealing to some one there, with outstretched hands, said, " I cannot break my neck. There's no one on the other side." As may be supposed, the hisses, groans, whistling, and noises that ensued were almost deafening. After a time, Mr. Grattan, the manager, came forward in front of the footlights, and entered into a statement to the effect that the great expenses of the panto mime did not allow him to pay all his debts. The clown denied many of Mr. Grattan's statements, and made various charges against that gentleman. At last the performance went on, the clown, pantaloon, and sprites doing their tricks as far as possible without the aid of supernumeraries. The only per sons belonging to that fraternity who appeared on the stage was a solitary man dressed up as police. man, and one young girl, and they, in the orthodox style, were beaten and kissed by the clown. Still the greatest confusion and noise reigned amongst the " gods," and the respectable people in the stalls and pit had nearly all left the house. Sandry fights took place in the gallery, and pieces of the seats were thrown into the stalls. The columbine, clown, pantaloon, and sprites still appeared on the stage, and the band played music, not a note of which could be heard. The fights were ultimately quelled by the two policemen stationed in the gallery, and the "gods" having tired themselves a little order was restored. One of the sprites then came for ward, and saying, " This is for the rest of the com pany," went through a clever gymnastic perfor mance, which called forth hearty applause. Some one then shouted from the gallery to the sprites, " Got any money, Fred ?'' Sprite—No. A Voice—Got any money, clown ? Clown—No. Pantaloon—l have 10s., that's all. The sprite then held one a shilling, saying, "That's all One of the gentlemen, who had remained in the stalls, then threw a shilling upon the stage, which the sprite picked up. The shilling was followed by several others and by a shower of coppers, amongst which were sundry farthings from the "gods," some of which fell upon the stage, others in the orchestra, striking the musicians, who had remained at their posts during the whole disturbance. Several of the supernumeraries then rushed on the stage, and a regular scramble, to the great delight of the "gods," took place for the money. However the " gods" in sisted upon its being handed over to the sprite, who, amidst overwhelming applause, bowed his acknow ledgments. The curtaia then rose upon "The Fairy Realms." Such a scene—a piece of scenery in one place, another in another, and a regular mass of confusion. A few "fairies" stood in the background ; some were in their places, others stood laughing. Frameworks of iron where fairies should have stood were empty, and amidst a flickering ray or two of blue and red coloured fire the curtain fell upon a scene of confusion such as we have never before wit nessed upon a stage. The lights were then lowered and the noises and groans in the gallery amongst the " gods " were greater than ever. The writer was glad to beat a hasty retreat, and to find himself safe in the street, where there was a crowd of persons— men, women, and boys—surrounding the entrance to the stage-door, some of them swearing that they would not go until they had got their money. Their language was loud as to what they would do if they did not have their money. The " performance" was not concluded until a little before Sunday morning, and when the writer left the spot the noisy "amuse ment" seemed to be at its height. A Saxon leaden coffin has been found at Bishop stoke, Hants. It contained the skeleton of 'a young woman. A glass bottle and two drinking cups were found in the coffin. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE . TAT TERSALL' S, MONDAY. A. determination to remain quiet by the bookmakers upon the Chester Cup, until after the acceptance, has had the effect of materially affecting the returns from the Corner. Notwithstanding a more than average attendance this afternoon, among whom were the principal bookmakers, speculation " dragged its slow length along ;" but left but little in its trail to record, if the importance of the wagering be taken into consideration, although the list of names given below would lead to the belief that some heavy transactions had taken place. The Two THOUSAND, first in priority, was the first event touched upon. The two favourites were supported for small amounts at sto 1, but we fancy if the layers had exhibited more liberality they would have been backed for money. Cambuscan was asked after, but his price, 6to 1, was not considered his market 'mice. SCENE IN A THEATRE. I SECOND► EDITIOTB SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 o'CLocw..

THREE HUNDRED ATLANTIC VOYAGES.---Cap _ _ ----- Edward G.

DOMESTIC TRAGEDY IN CUMBERLAND.—On Fri day last an inquest was held by Mr. Carrick, coronei for the eastern division of the county of Cumberland, on the body of a young farmer named William Brown, who had shot himself dead on the preceding day. Deceased lived at the village of Oughterby, seven or eight miles west of Car lisle. Some months ago he married a Miss Hodgson, daugh ter of a neighbouring farmer. They appear to have lived in great happiness, and to have been a very loving couple. Abut three weeks ago the young wife was confined of a boy, which circumstance was destined to be the end of a happy married life. The mother died on Wednesday last, and the bereavement seems to have made her widowed partner frantic with grief. On Thursday he went to his mother's house and got a gun. Northing more was seen of him till five o'clock, when a neighbour found his:dead body on the road. It was lying face uppermost, and the clothes covering the chest were on fire. A gun was rest ing on his body, the muzzle pointing towards his face. One end of a string was tied to the trigger, and at the other was a loop a few inches in length, by means of whioh he h . ad discharged the gun with his foot. In his pocket were found a powder-flask and shot, together with a copy-book, containing the following pathetic lines, written in a trem bling hand :—" 1 hope the Lord will forgive me. Without my Maggie I cannot be. You need (not) mourn me, be cause I must go. You will all look after our darling boy. The little sum that would fall to my darling wife and me will make him comfortable some time after. My wish is that we may be laid in one grave. This is the end of eight or nine years' courtship 1 Now the shot must pierce my heart. Oh, happy shall we be I" On another leaf were the words—" The old dog Wattie met (me) at the Croftfoot, liirkhampton. Put me with mylove Maggie on Saturday!" The jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity. The body was buried on Saturday, along with that of his wife. Leeds Mercury. A WILFUL WOMAN .—A determined attempt to commit suicide by starvation has just been made at t Gainsborough, by a young woman of 22, named Mary Beech living as domestic servant with the toll-collector at the bridge which crosses the Trent, and connects Lincolnsnire with Nottinghamshire. There is a covered passage on each side of the tollgate, with a door ope nin g to the bridge and a nother to the street, through which foot-passengers have to pass. One of these passages is not used for traffic, and in it the girl voluntarily shut herself up. She lay down upon the cold flags, and for five d a y s and four nights per sisted in refusing food. At length the police and the re lieving officer for the district were called in. They found her very weak, so that it was apparent she would die if prompt measures were not speedily adopted to make her take food. The relieving officer, however, could only offer the Nyman an order for te worahouse, which she refused to avail herself of, and h the police avowed them selves unable to interfere unless she were turned into the street by her master —a proceeding the toll-collector did not feel justified i n adopting. The medical o ffi cer of the district was next app lied to with the view of ascertaining the state of mind of tho forin the event of her being pronounce d deranged, tha relieving officer would have the power to remove her by force, but, on an examination taking place, no evidence of insanity could be detected. Persuasion, e xpostulation, and threats were all tried to in duce her to take some support, or to allow herself to be taken to the workhouse, but to no purpose. At length she was told that unless she consented to one of the two courses pointed out she would be turned into the street and conveyed to the police-station. This threat seemed to have some weight with her, for she ultimately said " they might do as they liked with her." Without giving her time to change her mind a fly was obtained, an d s h o was conveyed to the union. She was so mush exhausted, although naturally strong, that she had to be lifted in and out of the vehicle. On getting her to the workhouse she was put into a warm bath, and was ordered by the medical officer to have no thing stronger than gruel given her. It is said that she has a most ungovernable temper and a remarkably obstinate disposition. On a previous occasion, in one of her fits of anger, she tried to strangle herself, and she has more than once been in prison for wilful damage, THIRD EDITIIN SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. HOLSTEIN.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.22 i per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that g old is about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London By advices fromliamburg the price of gold is 423 i per mark and the short exchange on Lo ndon is 13.4} per .£1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mirt price is, therefore, about the same price in London and Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 166 to 1661 per cent., and the premium on gold is 511 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the. importation of gold from the United States. WIFE MURDER IN LIVERPOOL.—On Satwrday night, soon after 9 o'clock, information was con.. veyed to the police-station at Rose-hill that a man named Sam uel officers a o cz h e er n i as s e o r ae n u , :c shter who de e the h, e s eh i d pa e lda d ikeni the hl a e e w d w r h e o t i scmhawendi wife .o a s u s ld e ve n ah de ,nCo hav ing ;t expired only a few minutes before, Johnson, the per petrator of the deed, having made his escape. The body of the unhappy woman was all covere d w i t h woun d s an d con tusions, apparently cau se d b y ki c k s, or bl ows f rom some bluntinstrument, It appears that the husband, who is a nimble mason, and, as well as his wife, was of very intem perate habits, had been drinking a good deal in the course of the afternoon and evening, and that he was drunk. The wife, it appears, knowing that her husband had a consider able portion of his wages in his pocket, wished him to give her the money. This he refused to do, and soon after fell asleep. While he slept she abstracted the money from him and left the house with it, going, it is said, to a public house in the neighbourhood. On her return the husband awoke, and missing his money demanded it back from her. She refused, and this led to a quarrel, in which Johnson struck his wife and knocked her down. lie then kicked her with savage violence all over the body, inflicting such injuries as rendered her insensible, and he then ran away. The noise be had made attracted the attention of some of the neighbours, who on going into the house found the poor woman lying on the floor. She was able to speak a few words, and medical aid was sent for, but she died immediately. In the meantime Johnson has escaped. lie is described as a stoutly-made man, about 30 years old, and sft. Gin, or 7in. high, broad shouldered, and as ' being a dark complexioned, ill-looking man, The wretched I pair, it appears, had two children, who were at once ' taken to the workhouse.
